Thanks to Soccer Post, Chesterfield United Football Club and many of the parents of children playing for the club, Henry Kalungi left yesterday with several duffle bags full of uniforms, cleats, soccer balls and other soccer gear. Unfortunately the high cost of paying for a checked bag ($200 US for just one 50 pound bag) makes it cost prohibitive to take more stuff to give to children in need. Upward Sports, inc. donated 50 new soccer balls and we did a fund raiser and sold specially made t-shirts (see picture beside post) to help pay for taking the soccer balls. One of the things we are looking into is creating a business and non-profit business to help generate money to help off set the cost of getting donated items shipped overseas. More on that to come...
If you would like one of our Africa HOPE soccer t-shirts, send me an email at davidglass2@comcast.net. Shirts are $20. Keep checking the soccer acadmies web site (link below). Henry should be updating picture very soon. You may even see one of the items you donated or our Africa HOPE soccer t-shirts in a photo.
